Plain of Jars Site 3

Our second Plain of Jars stop was Site 3. This was the most atmospheric of the three sites. After a noodle lunch at the site entrance, we walked through padi fields and then up a hill. The jars were in a shady grove amidst some amazing scenery. Better still, we had this site completely to ourselves.

After viewing the jars, we looked for the remains of a Buddha statue that had been destroyed by a bomb from the Vietnam War. Rather poetically, even though the statue was destroyed, there was a bodhi tree growing out of it.
